Forward Ever, Backward Never It you have taken a careful look at the snap shot page you have been trying to figure us out as seniors, yes graduates, from what some of us appeared to be when we started to school is 1945. We were typical of the all trusting six year olds. Truthfully we have been puzzled by ourselves, the world, and the people in it at times, but never let it be said we are daunted. We believe in our motto, Forward Ever, Backward Never. Way back when we were Sophomores we were awed by the idea of being the underclassmen, but we were kept from discouragement by our class officers Jim Farson, Jim Merchant, Nancy Stumbo, ancl Eligh Green. The iunior year too lifted us like a whirlwind, but we kept our feet on the ground with another splendid legislative group: Phil Sykes, Jim Merchant, Jan Taylor, and Eligh Green. When we re- call the title of our dramatic hit, You Can't Take It With You, we realize how true it is, but we did capture many gratuitous experiences to carry into our twelfth year. We have arrived, this is it. The year is 1957 and we are graduating. It will be interesting to watch the many direc- tions we will take, members of the class of '57, as each of us finds the role he is to play in the work-a-day world. Our senior leaders have been an inspiration. Thanks for your leadership-Marlo Barrett, Gene Somerlot, Jan Taylor, and Eligh Green. If modern tests are a sure measure toward preparedness we have been helped immensely for opportunities have been rampant whether checking aptitude, l.Q., or general direc- tion. In the General Scholarship test Cara Minshall shone through and Malinda Kohler took district honors. West Point Cadets are in the ofting-John Guthrie was nominated for the Academy- and Phil Sykes was named alternate. Jim Lightner rose to an offer from the Air Force Academy. Fred Hanning was Harding's winner in the Voice of Democracy Contest. Cara Sue and Pete Bailey tied for first place on the Ohio test, and she was granted the DAR citizenship award. In the Time Current Events testIWinners were: Cara, Phil, John, Emily Rinnert and Ron Rish. Chosen delegates to the World Affairs Conference in Cincinnati, sponsored by Rotary, were Ruth Ann Miller and Phil. One of Mrs. Grigsby's government classes won the Time Magazine award for guessing correctly the Man of the Year. . Nursery Rhymes were the theme of our talent assembly. Appearing in this Show of the Year were some novices who did a terrific iob, and veteran actors and musicians who did not let the audience clown. Dixie Geddis was Mistress of Ceremonies, and Sandy Cottae turned dramatist for the occasion. Musicians of the class have made us proud. Those who have brought back top ratings in tough competition were Gary Dix, Linda Price, Sandra Coon, Ramona Smith, and Tom Mercer. Our class play, athletic events, social events,-and classes that have given us so much training in how to handle people and situations, are given full coverage in other parts of this yearis annual. Naturally commencement activities will leave us with a sense of regret that our class, graduates of 1957, will be to-gether for the last time as a group, but we wouldn't want it otherwise. We are proud of our motto; gladly will we receive our white carnation; and wear with dignity our grey and white caps and gowns complimented as they will be with our coloi's, aqua and yellow. Our alumni role should be played with capability because we have been given academic and character helps that will give us a strong faith and a confident determination that we are capable to say modestly, Here we are world, we want to do our share! l7
